AN ENGLIsIlMAN INsULTED,
The Dificulty OF Roofing Up PreJu,
dlces Learned at the Mothers Knee.

One bright June morning, some years
ago, a party Of travelling men were gazing
out upon one of the most charming land
scapes In the Susguehanna valley.
In the party was an English gentleman,
whose prejudiccs were stirred by the
laudatory tone of the conversation. He
grew restless, and exclaimed:
This may seem TO you rawther pretty
scene, but If you want to see really
beautiful scenery, you must go to Eng
land, where the air Is softer, the grass
greener, and the flowers more fragrant
than here
As he finished one of the party, whose
ancestors were of good old revolutionary
Yankee stock, turned to him, and with
more candor than politeness, said:
My friend, in childhood, at my mothers
knee, | was taught three things First,
to revere the great Creator; second. to
love the stars and stripes; and third, TO
hate Britishcr This Is one of the many
occasions when fully realize the benefi.
cial influences of early training"
Among the obstacles that obstruct q
man upward progress in this world, are
the prejudiccs which, planted in the
character forming period of early youth,
he finds have ecome firmly fixed in his
maturcr nature.
1t is difficult TO root them out. Men
may battle as they will; they can seldom
entirely overcome their carly impressions.
The progressive man discovers that he
must leave his prcjudiccs behind, il he
would keep step" in the ranks.
The. barriers in the way of the truth
seeker have been broken.
Do you doubtit? Wend your way to the
sanctuary some Sabbath morning. and be-
hold Universalist and Methodist clergy
men occupying the same pulpit!
DO You doubt it? See, as may now
frequently be seen. physicians of different
schools joining in consultation over their
patients. Sec eminent members of the
medical profession. like DR.. Robson OF
London, and DR.. Gum Of the medical
college of New York, publicly recon-
mending proprietary medicine, like
Warmers safe cure, the only sure specific
for kidney disorders and the many diseases
caused by such disorders, and their views
attested by hundreds of regular practi'
TONERS of various schools.
Note the fact too, that the leading
clergymen. like Rev. Dr. Rankin. ex-
Chaplain Of the U. s. Senate. and Rev
DR.. Kendrcl of the Rochester University,
one of the international rcviscrs Of the
New Testament, and thousands less well
known. publicly recommend this remedy,
because it not only cures kidney diseases
but the many common named diseases
caused directly Ivy them.
When medical men and ministers unite
in such course. who can doubt that in.
tolerance has ceased to rule in the learned
profession ut least?

An Expenriye Bit Of Brag.

In q leading restaurant in st. Peters
burg six officers Of the Imperial Horse
guards sat recently, it is stated, drinking
champagne. Not far from them sat an
insignificant little man, with o shabby
coat and an unkempt beard, and a glass
of liquor in front of. him. II was not
long before he became aware that he was
being ridiculed by the officers aforesaid.
BY and by, a they became more offensive
in their remarks on his personal appear
ance, the cheapness of what he was
drinking, etc., he called for the waiter
and said: Bring me six bottles of your
best champagne" The waiter hest
tated. ibid you not hear what ! said?"
asked the little man. The waiter brought
the wine and six glasses. Take these
glasses away and fetch a basin-one as
large as you can find" The waiter
again h~esitated, but obeyed instantly at
the peremptory repetition Of the order.
"A piece Of SOAP" was the next order.
1t was brought. "a towel" The
waiter handed him one. snow open the
bottles" The waiter did 30. The little
man now filled the basin with the con-
tents of the six bottles, rolled up his
sleeves, washed himself In the costly
fluid, wiped his hands, laid al0 on the
table, and, casting q look of whitening
contempt upon the officers, strutted out
of the room.-London Standard.

Good Advie. to contr,bu.or..

You gain nothing and lose much by
calling on the editor personally with your
articles. II he be an editor who amounts
to anything, he is always busy in Office
hours. He has no time to talk with you
or TO listen to your explanations. He
wishes you hadn't called. and he is pre-
JUDGED against you and whatever you
may have written. He may-probably
will-read your article. and il it be Of
great merit he may accept it, but he is
no more likely to than IL It had reached
him through the mail. In fact, he is not
80 apt to look ~favorably upon it, because
he reasons that IL he does you will call on
him again, waste his time and leave
another article. and il this should be de-
clined he naturally supposes that you
would call for personal explanation. He
would rather treat with you by means Of
the mail. II saves time and annoyance,
and you are sure Of being used as well.
Remember, also, that the only intro
duction to an editor that you need is an
article which you have written and which
he thinks good enough to print. All the
friends you may have ON earth, never
mind how powerful they may be, can
never put you ON such a footing with an
editor as will this.-C. M. Hammond in

But every picture has W sides, and

You in all its fullness the moment you

news comes a few years hence that
Pierre's bones are bleaching amid the
rocks of Madagascar, and that the vul-
lures have Toasted upon Louis corpse in
the voiceless solitudes Of the Sahara, and
that Henri has found an unknown grave
among the hideous swamps of Tonquin,

lier than all the weapons of the BLACK

Of victory and renown, and a speedy re-

that he has Won But the womaD's
keener instinct feels the bollowness of

would make every pulse of her heart leap

approve, this poor ignorant creature,
who fails to appreciate the blessings OF
war, and is actually b~enighted enough to
regard it not as a civilized and Christian
institution, but as a bloody and barbarous
folly. Perhaps, after all, she is not quite
alone in this delusion. ssWould to God

Handy to Have I'm the House.

A veritable boon to harassed house
keepers has been discovered. This is the
"Witch's Ladder, {" ga charm of marvel

from which we take the following trust
worthy directions for It's manufacture:
Take four wheaton straws, tie two to-
gethsr, top and bottom, for one side Of
the ladder. Tie the other two in the
same manner, and then insert short
straws between for steps. Now take
small feathers and place them up each
side Of the ladder, and the thing is done.

quest is muttered, and all will be right"

Fantastie rrspsoai Orchids.

The tropical orchids are brilliant in
coloring, fantastic In shape and often Of
delicious perfume, especially in the morn
ing while the night dews are upon them.
Many OF them lose all perfume after
midday till the following morning. So
excessively droll are many Of them in
shape that they seem sentient, and of all
blossoms the most like human beings.
There n the frog orchid. the baby orchid,
the Holy Ghost orchid: those resembling
bugs and beetles, birds and butterflies.
Many varieties are % exquisite in color
and form that IL would seem as though
fairies might hide in their pockets, or
pouches, as they are called, or that the
bees might store their sweets in such
dainty, velvet lined cells. The leaves are
rarely pretty or graceful in form, the
whole beauty Of the plant eliminating in
the flower. All orchids have a season Of
resting, or recuperation, Of three months.
This ~unlovely period Of their existence
corresponds to the rainy season in tropical
chimes, when, IL In blossom, the rain tor

ROYALTY and Music.

The emperor Of Russia is a first class
cornet player. He once accompanied
Nilsson in one Of her songs, and not long
ago. when singing before him, she sang
the same air. much TO the qualification Of
the emperor. The queen of Belgium is a
devoted musician.
The emperor Of Brazil maintains an
Italian opera out Of his " purse, and
he has one Of the most complete operate
companies in the world.
The emperor Of Austria also spends over
1,0O0.000 francs . year on the Vienna
opera house. Rossini used once to COM
pose q trifiing melody every year for the
king Of Portugal. Everybody knows
what o passion the late king Louis Of
Bavaria had for music.
King Oscar Of Sweden has a magnif-
cent basso voice, and sings like an artist
Here are a or two interesting facts re
Pecting the taste for music in the present
sovereigns Of Europe.
The emperor of Germany. for instance,
sdores music, and never misses an oppor-
tunity TO hear Patti or any other celeb
rity. He always goes behind the scenes
after the performance to thank the
artiste.
Her majesty Ia also q great amateur Of
music. and sings very beautifully. She
wa a pupil Of Lablache, and he used to
my that il she was not queen of Great
Britain she might be q queen of song.
The late prince consort's passion for
music is well known. He made Men,
delssohn known in England and protected
him.
. The Prince Of Wales is also a good
musician and the Princess of Wales is one
Of Halle's best pupils. The duke of Edin-
burgh, as we all know, could earn his
living with the violin IL necessary.-Lon-

A Society Incident.
FROM The San F,oncisco Chroni,

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There is story about two Bowery gentlemen
in New York that's not too dried. One of them
was moving in what the other considered swell
society, and he was puzzled how he managed to
keep up the style.
How do you do it?'' he asked.
Veil, you see, | buys me a dress coat nit
tails at an auction, an when | gets ON dat coat
gets blenty of invitations, an goes oud.'
But we're does you get the monsh?''
THE monish? You see venever goes I takes
away init me a silver spoon or a knife or some
things, an gets 50 or So for them. It's easy as
pie. Wy don't you try it?''
Me- l vas honest. 1 couldn't do no such
pizness."
However, he was persuaded to buy a cheap
dress suit and go into society under the guidance
of his ingenious friend. The first party they at
tended the old bird said
Wy don't you make away NIT something's?
It'll never be known, Yves pizness men"
NO; | couldn't Vats accept of their hospi-
tality, an den-no-no. / couldn't do it. -
Look here. This is de way"
And he pulled up his trousers and showed two
knives and a spoon sticking in his boot The
other was too honest to follow his example
When the supper was in progress the honest one
gotup and said:
Ladies and gentlemen vas much Obliged
for your hospitality. | was not good at speech
making, but I vas able to do some sleight- of
hand tricks You see takes dem two knives

Then he said goodnight and went home.

Tribulations of Two "Johns.n
From the San Francisco Bulletin.


Two Cinnamon were looking into Kearney
street shop window yesterday when a mischiev-
GUS small boy slipped up behind them with an
mpish grin on his phySiognomy and tied the
two pigtails together. The rogue then seated
himself on a hydrant nearby to wait the fun
Presently one of the heather started off on his
way down the street, but of course came to a
sudden halt when the limit of the tails was
reached. His surprise was only equalled by that
of his countryman. For a second both glared
at each other. Then, perceiving the cause of
their predcament sitting on the hy-
drant convulsed with laughter they
simultaneously made a rush for him. Of
course the boy ran. The Cinnamon, their queues
still fastened securely together as the Young
INN left them, followed at breakneck speed
yelling and gesticulating at every step The boy
suddenly turned off the sidewalk just where
telegraph pole stands and sped across the street
The enraged Mongols turned off too but, for
getful of their united condition. passed on op-
posite sides of the telegraph pole. It is needless
TO say that they were rather forclbly reminded
of their blunder a second later They came to-
gether on the other side Of the mast like two
locomotives moving in opposite directions A
crowd gathered about and kind-hearted no
liceman, who happened by. untangled the de-
moralized and chagrined Chinese. The small
boy vanished
